Be it knowmthat I, BRIG/G. 'BJQRKLUND, a 'citizenpf the United States; residing at Bridgeport, county of Fairfield; State of 8 Connecticut, have invented an Improvement in Smoking. Pipes, of which the following is aspeci fication. i i a i This invention relates; to a tobacco pipe and has for 'an 'object to provide an improved pipe which will give a cool, clean smoke,.and which may be easily cleaned. It is alsowan object of the invention to provide apipe in which there is little chance for-w the nicotineandmoisture which gathers in the pipe. to

ll getinto the smoke passagein the stem even should thepipe beturned on its side;

'Withthe foregoing-and other objects in View, I have devisedthe' construction illus trated in the accompanying drawing, in-

so which- Fig.1 is'a top plan viewl'of one type oi? pip eembodyingmy invention. i

Referring to Figs; 1, 2 "and- 3 the body of the ipe is indicated,, at 10 which is hollow an open at the-top toreceive the open bowl 11. u

surface of the pipe will be continuous; and ul thebowl has threaded engagement with the" Fig. 2 showing:

bodyimmediately"'under this flange; "as shown-at 14. "Ad a'Oentthe lower end of the bowl preferably in the bottom-thereof are one or more' outlet openings 15. The body has connected therewith a stem '16 having 00 the usualmout'h piece 17and asmoke pas v sage l8 which leads from" the smoke passage 12 atthe upper part thereof." Within the smoke passage 12, preferably extending outwardly from the outer-wall of the bowl, and between the bottom ofthe bowl andthe smoke passage 18 is a'downwardly inclined flange -19 extending-around the bowl and spaced a short-distance from the inner wall ofthe body: This flange acts as a bafile for' the smoke and also" collects and holds moisture whichruns down theoutside' of the bowl allowing itted-rip ofl' theedge of this flanges. a

1 ithin the body of the pipe-and below" 76 the bottomfof the bowl'iis a moisture and I nicotine chamber 20'andbetweenthe bottom of this chamberand the bottom ofthe bowl andleading downwardly and inwardly from the inner walls of. the .body, is a-flange 21 providing an opening. 22*.lea'ding to :thi's chamber, and as this flangeis downwardly inclined it provides an annular pocket 23 be a .v neath thes'ame;zThe'body'may be closed at i ;ig.--5 is a side elevation th'ereof looking andrclose it by means of a suitable cap or plug 24ahaving-threaded engagement with the bodyyas shown'at25 the plugtor cap being' preferably substantially'of the same surface. The a bodyvv portion and the? stem may be made oft'any suitable 'material'de sired'asmay also the bowl; but I prefer to make: the" bowl of suitable wood such: as

sired;

In: operation the tobacco is placed :in the bowl in the usual manner: and the smoke will be drawn through, the openings-15 and passage :12 to thewstem around the outside of the bowl. The flange 19 keeps moisture from gathering on the-body of." the bowl as any moisture which gets on to the outer.

. walls thereofwill collect on the edgeofi this flan e and dropofinonto the inner walls of the ody., This] moisture vas well as other moisture from the stem will run down the flange 21,;throughthe opening 22 and into i the chamber'20" Where: it will be retained; 1 Should thepipe be laid onits side orturned" 11o upside down the moisture which has collected in the chamber. 20. will be held in the 24 naturally facilitatescleaning of the walls ofthe chamber 20.. s

In Figs. to 8 I. have shown a slightly difierent construction and also a different type of; pipe. Inthis pipe the. body 26 is open; Milt/S upper, end. and threaded on the inner walls thereof, as shown at 27, to receive an. open bowl 28 similar to that shown in Fi 1 to 3, which has a knurled v flange 29 an is threaded beneath the same anddownwardly from the side wallsof the:

"slitat certain points" as 38 to provideresili to'engage the threads in the body. .This bowl also has smoke-out openings 30 and a downwardly and outwardlydirected flange 31. on its outer wall extendin into-thesmoke passage 32 between the bow and the body.

Around the lower edge of the bowl I refer to provide a. downwardly exten ing flange 33 which also acts as a means-tov gather moisture and causes it to drip fromthe bowl to prevent its getting into the smoke openings3O andinto the-bowl. Within the body and beneath the bowl is a moisture gandv nicotine'chamber 34 and between the bottomof this chamber and the bottom of the bowl is -a flange 35 leading inwardly body to an opening 36, corres onding to the flange 21 ofithe first form.- This flange, however,instead-o f being integral with the body, is preferably a piece of resilient metal havinga downwardly extending flange 37 ent means for engaging the inner walls of the body member to retain the flange in osition therein. The body has an upwardy: inclined stem 39' withza smoke passage 40. leading from'the upper art of. the smoke passagev 32, and-connects with this stem is the usual upwardly extending curved( mouth piece 41. As the stem extends from the upper-part of the body I preferably close the space beneath the same and the bottom of the body to give a neat appear-- ance and continuous efiectibymeans of a In operation .this is practically the same asthe first form, the flange '31 having the same effect as the flange 19 in the first I formywhile the flange 33 provides an "additional protection from moisture to the tobacc'o'in the bowl-as pointed out above. The flange 35 being removable, by removing the bow and this flange it will be ap arent the inner continuous walls of the ody -may the first form various portions of the pi may be made of different materials as esired, but I prefer to make the bowl of wood as in the first form. The removable flange 35 through the downwardly tapered flange 37, has a tight connection with the inner wall of the body and so provides a pocket or groove 44 beneath the same corresponding to the pocket 23 beneath the flan e. 21 inthe.

first form. This flan and p0 et, similar to the flange and poc et in the first form, retains the moisture collected in the chamber 34 should the pipe be laid on its side or turned upside down, and prevents it from passing to the stem or the tobacco in the bowl;

. Having thus set forth the nature of my invention, what I claim is: I

I 1. A pipe comprisin a hollow body, an open bowl in said bo y and located at a distance from the side walls thereof to provide a space between the bowl and body, said bowl being rovided with one or more smoke outlets in t 0 lower part thereof, a downwardly and outwardly extendin flange 'on the outer wall of the bowl in sai space and above said outlets, and a stem havin a'smolne passage leading from said space 9. ve said flange.

2. A pipe eomprisin a hollow body, an open bowl in said b0 y provided with a smoke outlet in the lower part thereof, said bowl being spaced from said body to provide a smoke passage betweeen them, a stem having'a smoke passage leading from the first passage above the bottom of the bowl, and a ownwardly extending flange on the outer walls of the bowl located between the outlet from the bowl and the entrance to the passage in the stem.

3. A pipe comprising a hollow body, an open bowl in said body and spaced therefrom to form a smoke passage about the bowl anda chamber beneath the bowl, said bowl being rovided with smoke outlet passages in the ower part thereof, a downwardly and inwardly extending im erforate annular flange carried by the b0 y in said chamber beneath the bowl to provide an inverted annular receptacle, 9. downwardly extendi annular flange projecting from the bowl into the smoke passage above the outlet pessa from the bowl, and a stem having a smo e passa e leading from the first passage above said ange. V

4. A pi e comprisin a hollowbod an open bow in said b0 y and spaced t erefrom to form a smoke pass about the bowl and a chamber beneath th e bowl, said bowl being provided with a smoke outlet Ill passage in the bottom thereof, an inwardly body and the bowl above said flange, and a and downwardly extending imperforate downwardly extending flange on the outer flan 0 leading from the wall of the body bewalls of the bowl located between the smoke I neat the bowl and above the bottom of the outlet passage in the bowl and the entrance 5 body to provide an inverted annular recepto the smoke passage in the stem.
